Next up!

I am going to make this next-Vogue 8323. I am making View B, with the scrunch neck look and 3/4 sleeves.

I printed out a PMB pattern and overlaid it on this one to determine what adjustments I really needed. I bought the 8-14 size as my shoulders, neck and upper chest fall within this range. My bust falls within the 16-18 depending on pattern draft. Thus I had to make a FBA and had to add three inches based upon finished bust measurement on pattern sheet. I ended up using Sandra Betzina's method of full bust adjustment from her book FAST FIT.

Here is my fabric.
This is from EOS-Emma One Sock. It is a buttermilk knit, paisley design in shades of golden/warm brown, beige , white and grey.








I bought this earlier this year. Has not had a lot of time to age as some of my fabrics.
Here is another fabric, that I want to make up next. This fabric is from Wazoodle, acquired during the spring of this year. Another one that did not age as long.
Not sure if I want to make View C, scoop neck top from this same pattern or try another one. Will probably decide after I make this one. I won't have to do too much to this one as the side front is where the major FBA change was made so only have to adjust front piece by lengthening it to match up with side front.

  2. I'm looking foward to seeing the completed shirts. I have this pattern and just this morning was debating whether to sew it or a dress. (The dress is currently winning the debate).
